The Volume will mount and the hard drive that mounts will be called

"fs0-H1" Inside this volume will be your recorded media that you will need to access to use with Final Cut Pro

To find your media go to the folder "clip.dir" open it and then look for a folder containing the name of your project

In our example project was called "JOF"

The next step is to copy the folder off the "Omneon" "fs0-H1" hard drive to your own storage drive so you can edit in Final Cut Pro
Drag the whole folder over to your hard drive like this example.

Example of files copying to your hard drive

Eject the drive
